Development

  • Working with the database - Setting up a local database for testing purposes, very useful for testing persistence and reducing development time.
  • Guide to git - Using git command line, as well as dealing with merge conflicts and using mapmerge/dmimerge

Spriting

  • Guide to spriting - How to create sprites for the game. This is fairly outdated, however.

  • Map Merger - Use of mapmerge2, a vital tool for resolving map merge conflicts, as well as installing Git hooks.
  • Guide to mapping/Exploration ruins - Guide explaining how to map exploration ruins.
